1. Moving Beyond the FCC Order on Small Cells
Agenda
An overview of 5G and its benefits
Use cases and deployment photos
Zoning drawings of 4G/5G nodes on traffic signals, streetlights, and utility poles

4. Enhance mobile broadband services
Open new possibilities for wearables, machine-to- machine communications, and internet of things technologies
Enable the ecosystem of connected objects–cars, machines, sensors, etc.
Expand mobile networks to support a vast diversity of devices and services
Empower new user experiences like virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR)
Provide industries with improved performance, operational efficiency, safety, and costs
5G is a platform for innovation. Examples of this include enhanced mobile broadband services and enabling the ecosystem of connected objects like cars, machines, and sensors.
There were things within the transition from 3G to 4G that we weren’t able to envision when 4G networks rolled out.
Things like:
Mapping capabilities that we now have within a 4G system, waze being one of them
Efficiencies in traveling to your destination
Sharing applications like Uber and Airbnb that could not be realized over 3G networks need the 4G networks
If we look at the 5G networks and the capabilities that they bring, there will be applications that we cannot envision today, but will be realized once those 5G networks are in place.
Low latency use cases – from image recognition for the visually impaired to augmented reality gaming – are in the early stages of development. Work is being done by Universities, Wireless Carriers, Google, Amazon, Facebook, and start-ups to take advantage of the benefits that 5G delivers.
Crown Castle is working with Carnegie Mellon University, who is at the forefront of low latency application development, on a test system, where students and industries can test their applications in a real world environment.
5G will impact a broad range of different industries from the consumer - to industry - to public safety - to education.
Let’s take a look at some of those industries that will be impacted by 5G.

5. Small Cells will…
Enhance mobile broadband services that connect previously disconnected communities
Open new possibilities for wearables, machine-to- machine communications, and internet of things technologies
Enable the ecosystem of connected objects–cars, machines, sensors, etc.
Expand mobile networks to support a vast diversity of devices and services
Empower new user experiences like virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR)

6. Every industry will be impacted by small cells—requiring new skillsets and jobs.
Self-driving cars could reduce emissions by up to 90 percent, cut travel times by nearly 40 percent, and could save 21,000 lives annually.
Drone commerce is expected to add more than $80 billion to the economy and create 100,000 new jobs.
Wireless connectivity will save lives and $305 billion per year in health costs. 3 2 1

Self-driving cars: We could see a reduction in emissions by up to 90%, reduce travel times by nearly 40%, and save thousands of lives. Our feeling is that self-driving cars won’t necessary rely on the network to be self-driving, it will still be autonomous. Information will be leveraged from the networks through the sharing of things – like mapping data for instance – that enable self-driving cars to operate. Also, information will be leveraged like vehicle to infrastructure, communication, and vehicle to pedestrian that will potentially save lives.
Drones: Expected to add more than $80 billion and create 100,000 new jobs. We have seen some initial pilots of drone delivery and drone inspections. These require a low latency and a higher bandwidth.
Wireless connectivity: Will save lives and $305 billion per year in health costs. Think about continuous monitoring, especially for an at risk patient, and being able to proactively anticipate when someone may have a health crisis. Currently, we are seeing initial use cases with the Apple EKG Monitor, and those will become even more sophisticated over time.

7. Take home message
-The FCC order equalizes ROW users - we are a utility like any other and should be held to the same standards with no extra hurdles.
-Municipalities that want the new technology should create ROW ordinances that encourage development.
-Insist on collaboration!
